I have been tossing around the idea of some suspension parts. Definitely need some new subframe bushings! Really want a mini-tube with the wheels and tires to go with it...need to do some serious research first!
Thanks guys, any additional advice will be well received!

Unless you have the fabrication skills to install the mini tubs I could see that eating the entire $10K by the time you buy wheels depending on what wheels you buy. Once you make the leap to a 335 tire it requires a 12" wide wheel which narrows down the field of wheel manufacturers to something that's multi-piece and custom backspacing and significantly more expensive, the mini tub kit plus shocks and fuel tank will be near $2,500, and then there's the cost to install the tubs, Vince could give you an idea of that cost but the remaining $1,500 or so may not be enough to cover the labor to install the tubs.
I think Rod has the plan that will give you the most bang for the buck if you stay with a moderately priced wheel.
